SECOND ADyENTISTs.
First Day of the Camp Meeting at
Posts Siding.

First Day of the Camp Meeting at
Posts Siding.
After the long rains the sun shone
bright and hot on the camp grounds at
PoStS'S Siding, where the annual feast.
of the Adventist opened. The grounds
did not seem to have suffered from the
IA MS, and though the preparations had
been somewhat interrupted, everything
looked comfortable The camp meeting
opened soon after dawn, the first meet
ing being held at $50 O'clock. Brief,
remarks were made at that time by sew
eral of the brethren stating the objects,
of the meeting and expressing the hope
that it might be blessed in a speciat
manner.
AT $50 p. m. large company came
together for the opening sermon by
Elder r. A. Underwood, president OF
the Ohio conference, who has just ar
rived from the Pacific coast, where he
has attended the camp meeting, taking
in the DeS MoineS, To-, camp meeting
on his way, at both of which meetings
he has been one of the acceptable labor
erS. The speaker said he had no desire
or ambition to present any new or pleas
ing ideas, but only to stir up the hearts
of those present by way OF remem-
brance. To stir them to a clear sense
of the dangers and duties OF the present
time. No matter how small it may seem
to us, any sin cherished in the heart
will keep away the peace of God; the
Spirit cannot dwell in heart defiled by
sin.
Many were moved to tears by an ex-
perience of his own in cOnfeSSlng and
offering restitution, for what many
would think small wrong, and yet
which had troubled him for long time.
He showed from his text and other
scriptures that the end of all things is
at hand. ScOffers were everywhere to
be found when the subject of the second
coming of the Lord was preached; that
said the time was no nearer than when
we first believed, and the speaker
charged his hearers not to put off the
coming of the Lord, or say like the evil
servant: my Lord delayeth His COM
ing" for there is fearful doom coming
on all who do this.
